A Few of My Favorites from October

I just realized I have a bunch of pictures I meant to post, but October kind of went by in a blur and I didn't get much up. So, here is a little bit of October.

Popcorn! The kids love popcorn. And I think it's adorable to see them sitting next to each other in their footie pajamas sharing a big bowl. I also love Matthew's cheese smile and Emma's "don't bother me, I'm trying to watch my movie" smile.

A cute preschool moment. I was cleaning up and came out to find Emma reading to her friends. They were really into this book!

We went to a pumpkin patch for a park group. Emma got to ride the train and had a blast.

I'm loving the color of these pumpkins

Emma also got to jump in the big bounce house. Matthew just watched longingly...

Matthew got the biggest kick out of this. It took him awhile to figure out where the noise was coming from.

Matthew does this a lot now, and he thinks he is so funny when he does.

Precious!

ABC Book

I had a free photobook offer that was about to expire, so Jon and I decided to make an ABC book for the kids for Christmas using pictures we had. Here's how it turned out. I can't wait to see it in book form!

I think the cover is my favorite page!

When the mess is already made...

you might as well let them enjoy it!

Halloween Fun

I'm finally getting around to posting our Halloween pictures, and I'm a month behind on all our other pictures. Hopefully I can get those up soon.

Halloween Take One: Ward Halloween Party
We had a really simple plan for costumes this year. Matthew has the cutest Batman pajamas, complete with a cape, so he was going to be Batman. Emma was going to be a cat, wearing all black clothes and cat ears that we already had. I bought some black material and sewed her a tail. They looked adorable...especially considering that we only spent a couple dollars and a few minutes getting the costumes ready.

This one makes me smile

Getting ready for the costume parade

Totally happy with his lollipop

The kids also wore these costumes for a little Halloween party at Jon's work.

Halloween Take 2: Trick or treating
The day before Halloween I ran to Old Navy because all their costumes were $2. I grabbed 4, and the kids wore 2 of them for trick or treating.

I LOVE this skeleton!

She's roaring in this picture

Jenny made him a bowtie to wear (the green thing)

This makes me smile too. She insisted on getting her picture with the headstone.

We spent the afternoon with Jon's family and went trick or treating with them. Emma was so excited. Matthew was just tired, so we put him in the stroller and headed out. After about 20 minutes Emma was done so we went back to Grandma's house and visited a little longer before heading home.
